Heterogeneous distributed environments or grid environments provide large computing resources for the execution of large scientific applications. The effective use of those plat...
This paper studies distributed scheduling of parallel I/O data transfers on systems that provide data replication. In our previous work, we proposed a centralized algorithm for so...
Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) often consist of applications that access shared resources such as databases. Since centralized systems may have a great impact on the system...
This paper investigates the performance of a content distribution network designed to provide bounded content access latency. Content can be divided into multiple classes with dif...
